[0002] The twisted-lobe Roots compressor and expander are a kind of widely used rotary compressors and expanders, which can be used to obtain the transportation and compression of fluid working medium under medium and low pressure conditions. It has the characteristics of long service life of rotary machinery, continuous and reliable operation, low vibration and noise, and stable operation. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of no valve structure, forced suction and exhaust, simple processing, and few wearing parts, and plays an important role in machinery such as air compressors in fuel cell systems and semiconductor vacuum pumps.

[0003] The twisted-lobe Roots compressor and expander rely on the pushing action of a pair of rotor blades with the same shape in the rotor cavity rotating synchronously and in opposite directions to realize gas transportation. Its rotor determines the overall performance of the compressor and expander. The optimal design of the rotor is also the key technology for manufacturing high-performance twisted-lobe Roots compressors and expanders. However, the current widely used profiles of twisted-lobe Roots compressors and expanders have few design optimization parameters in terms of tooth profile serialization. In order to meet different requirements, it is necessary to redesign and optimize the profile parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to provide a high-order spiral combined twisted-lobe Roots rotor, a compressor and an expander for the problem of insufficient design optimization parameters of the rotor tooth profile serialization of the existing twisted-lobe Roots compressors and expanders. Through the reasonable combination of different-order spiral profiles, a complete twisted-lobe Roots rotor tooth profile is formed, which can meet the requirements of profile serialization while providing more design parameters, so as to effectively suppress the leakage between working cavities under different operating conditions, improve the rotor area utilization coefficient, and improve the overall performance of the twisted-lobe Roots compressor and expander.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention has the following technical solutions:

[0006] A high-order spiral combined twisted-lobe Roots rotor includes a female rotor and a male rotor with the same profile structure. The two rotors can achieve continuous and correct meshing during the meshing process of reverse rotation. The single-tooth tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 of one rotor is composed of a spiral envelope line segment A1B1, a spiral line segment B1C1, a spiral line segment C1D1, and a spiral envelope line segment D1E1 connected in sequence. The complete rotor profile is formed by rotating the single-tooth tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 around the origin of its rotor profile Then it is formed by connecting the single-tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 end to end. Repeat this rotation and connection z times, where z represents the number of teeth of different rotor profiles; during the rotation, the origin of the rotor profile of one rotor is O1, and the origin of the rotor profile of the other rotor is O2; the involute envelope segment A1B1 of one rotor (the male or female rotor) meshes with the involute segment A2B2 of the other rotor, the involute segment B1C1 meshes with the involute envelope segment B2C2 of the other rotor, the involute C1D1 meshes with the involute envelope segment C2D2 of the other rotor, and the involute envelope D1E1 meshes with the involute D2E2 of the other rotor.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the single-tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 is considered to be composed of two profile segments A1C1 and C1E1. The two profile segments A1C1 and C1E1 are respectively composed of different or the same involute and its envelope. A combined profile segment composed of an involute and its envelope is an involute tooth profile.

[0008] The involute profile equation is as follows:

[0010] In the formula, n i represents the specific order of the involute profile, and a and b are adjustable geometric parameters of the profile;

[0011] Derived according to the plane meshing principle, the central angle of the rotor corresponding to each involute tooth profile satisfies the following relationship:

[0012]

The subscripts a and b represent the two rotors respectively, and i represents each involute tooth profile.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the profile obtained by combining involute tooth profiles of different orders satisfies the following relationship:

[0018] P i,[a,b] (end) = P i+1,[a,b] (first)

[0019] P i,[a,b] (end)' = P i+1,[a,b] (first)'

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] At present, the profiles of the widely used twisted-lobe Roots compressors have few design optimization parameters in terms of tooth profile serialization. To meet different requirements, it is necessary to redesign and optimize the profile parameters. In response to this, the present invention proposes a high-order spiral curve combined twisted-lobe Roots rotor.

[0044] See Figure 1 , in the high-order spiral combined twisted lobe Roots rotor of the embodiment of the present invention, the single-tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 of the rotor profile is composed of a spiral envelope line segment A1B1, a spiral line segment B1C1, a spiral line segment C1D1, and a spiral envelope line segment D1E1 connected in sequence.

[0045] During the meshing process of the two rotors rotating in opposite directions, continuous and correct meshing can be achieved. The spiral envelope line segment A1B1 of one rotor meshes with the spiral line segment A2B2 of the other rotor, the spiral line segment B1C1 meshes with the spiral envelope line segment B2C2 of the other rotor, the spiral C1D1 meshes with the spiral envelope line segment C2D2 of the other rotor, and the spiral envelope line D1E1 meshes with the spiral D2E2 of the other rotor.

[0046] The complete rotor profile is obtained by rotating the single-tooth profile A1B1C1D1E1 around the origin of the rotor profile and then connecting the head and tail with the tooth profile A2B2C2D2E2, repeating this z times, where z represents the number of teeth of different rotor profiles; during the rotation process, the origin of the rotor profile of one rotor is O1, and the origin of the rotor profile of the other rotor is O2.

[0047] The single tooth of the rotor profile can be regarded as composed of two profile line segments A1C1 and C1E1, and these two profile line segments are respectively composed of different or the same spiral and its envelope line. Hereinafter, the combined profile composed of a spiral and its envelope line is called a spiral tooth profile.

[0048] The order of the spiral rotor profile is represented by n, generally taking an integer. The specific spiral profile equation is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] In the formula, n i represents the specific order of the spiral profile, and a and b are adjustable geometric parameters of the profile.

[0051] Derived according to the plane meshing principle, the central angle of the rotor corresponding to each spiral tooth profile satisfies the following relationship:

[0052]

[0053] Two spiral tooth profiles of different orders that satisfy this relationship form a single-tooth profile of the rotor, and different single-tooth profiles of the rotor form a complete rotor tooth profile. The specific profile matrix is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] In the formula, P i,a 、Pi,b respectively represent the parameter matrices of the spiral tooth profile curves of each section of the two meshing rotors, P a , P b respectively represent the total profile parameter matrices of the two meshing rotors. The subscripts a and b represent the two rotors respectively, and i represents each section of the spiral tooth profile.

[0056] The combined curves of spiral tooth profiles of different orders satisfy the following relational expressions:

[0057] P i,[a,b] (end) = P i+1,[a,b] (first)

[0058] P i,[a,b] (end)' = P i+1,[a,b] (first)'

[0059] In the formula, P i,[a,b] , P i,[a,b] ' respectively represent the parameter matrix of the spiral tooth profile curve of any section on the two rotors and the parameter matrix of the curve derivative. end and first represent the two points where the curve starts and ends.

[0060] The specific combination schemes of the high-order spiral combined twisted-lobe Roots rotors, compressors and expanders that satisfy the above relational expressions are as follows:

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, z represents the number of teeth of the rotor.

[0063] Rotors with different numbers of teeth z can satisfy the above relational expressions through combinations of different orders n of spiral tooth profiles.

[0064] The specific embodiments are as follows. When the number of teeth of the rotor z = 3, the following corresponding relational expressions are satisfied:

[0065]

[0066] Specifically, there are the following two schemes that satisfy the above relational expressions:

[0067]

[0068] Specifically, the spiral tooth profile orders corresponding to the central angle of the above rotor are as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Furthermore, the rotors with different numbers of teeth z have the following specific profile configuration schemes:

[0071]

[0072] Considering the design rationality and rotor applicability, only the above-mentioned order is shown In this case, the specific value can be adjusted according to the actual usage. The rotor tooth profile is combined with the corresponding number of teeth of the involute profile to obtain the complete involute-shaped twisted-lobe Roots compressor rotor profile.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of rotor teeth and the order of the involute of the twisted-lobe Roots compressor rotor are taken as z a = z b = 3, n = [2, 6, 2, 6, 3, 3], and the obtained symmetric rotor profile is as Figure 1 shown, and the corresponding rotor envelope clusters are as Figure 2 shown.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of rotor teeth and the order of the involute of the twisted-lobe Roots compressor rotor are taken as z a = z b = 3, n = [2, 6, 3, 3, 3, 3], and the obtained symmetric rotor profile is as Figure 3 shown, and the corresponding rotor envelope clusters are as Figure 4 shown.

[0075] The design method of the high-order involute combined type twisted-lobe Roots rotor of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0076] 1. Select the rotor center distance O1O2, the number of teeth z of different rotor profiles, and the adjustable geometric parameters a and b according to the volume size and pumping rate;

[0077] 2. Arrange and combine to select the order n i of the involute line segments B1C1 and C1D1, and construct the rotor profile through the selected parameters;

[0078] 3. The profile tooth profiles combined by involutes of different orders have different meshing lines and force characteristics. In the actual application process, optimize and select different arranged-profile rotors according to the sealing requirements and force performance requirements of the specific usage scenario.

[0079] The involute-shaped twisted-lobe Roots rotor profile proposed in the embodiment of the present invention is all composed of involutes and their envelopes. The present invention also provides a twisted-lobe Roots compressor and an expander. Specifically, a twisted-lobe Roots compressor has the high-order involute combined type twisted-lobe Roots rotor described above. A twisted-lobe Roots expander has the high-order involute combined type twisted-lobe Roots rotor described above.

Compared with other conventional pump types, the compressor and expander using the high-order spiral combined twisted-lobe Roots rotor of the present invention have the advantages of fewer wearing parts, forced suction and exhaust, high pumping speed, no surging, low vibration and noise, etc.
